Start your Amalfi Coast road trip in the scenic town of Sorrento. Nestled on the cliffs of the Gulf of Naples, you can enjoy breathtaking views of Mount Vesuvius and Naples while sampling some of the best authentic Italian cuisine. The colourful cobblestone streets are home to designer boutiques and quaint independent shops sure to keep the most ardent shoppers occupied. For history lovers, Pompeii is just a short train ride away and definitely worth a visit.
Day two of your road trip starts with a short half-hour drive to the Italian coastal village of Positano. Famed for offering the ‘La dolce vita’ its expansive beaches are perfect for rest or play with an array of watersports available. In the heart of town, winding paths and bougainvillea-draped stairways conceal everything from family-run trattorias serving authentic Italian cuisine to boutique shops and traditional leather makers.
Day three of our Amalfi Coast road trip itinerary takes you to not one but two beautiful Italian coastal towns. The first stop, Amalfi, dates back to Mediaeval times, so as well as impressive views of the coast, you can marvel at eclectic architecture and wonderful landmarks, like the Duomo and Cloister of Paradise. From here, you’ll move on to Ravello, a mountaintop village that offers spectacular views of the Amalfi coast and enchanting gardens and villas to explore.
Enjoy scenic coastal views on the final day of your trip as you journey from Ravello to Salerno. Less well-known than many towns on this trip, Salerno offers you the chance to experience an authentic Italian port city. With fewer tourists, it’s the perfect place to kick back and enjoy the last day of your Amalfi Coast holiday, whether that’s taking a stroll along the promenade, exploring the old town or viewing the impressive Salerno Cathedral.
